I want to get those too! I've been looking at them for a while. But between money and not being so sure if I really do love them I haven't gotten them yet

Its been almost two weeks since i really washed the car /:
Theyre doin alot of construction round Corpus so my car keeps gettin hit by dirt, dust, bird crap, and dead bugs. The wind hasnt been helping either!

It's a carnauba.... It's rare, I got it from a buddy on my Autogeek forum. You used to be able to get it from a few vendors. Now only 1 place sells them I think. I believe it's from Canada.

It's got unbelievable depth... And very durable. Very wet looking. It's similar to souveran, but a bit more shimmer and way more durable.
I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST!!!!!!!

Not only that, but I have a Kona Blue 2011. Maybe you can help me get some of the swirls out. . .

Chicagoland area FYI.

Heres the pics i took. I didnt have any tire cleaner so i had to improvise a bit with the sidewalls. Use my waterless wash and a brush. Not the best results but not bad. Gonna get some new tire cleaner and tire dressing next weekend.
Maybe try plasti-dip on the decklid panel, hood spears, and the roof. Then its on to the rims.

Asking opinions here, on the base v6 rims, how would you guys n gals think this would look? Tape off the face of the rim including the lip. The dip the pockets and empty spots in black? Anyone good with photoshop that can do this?

Looks great. You need the painted mirror covers before you do the wheels.

Looks fantastic man. Try some dusk or dawn pics. It's the best lighting for white or silver.

As for your rims, it's up to you in the end, but IMO leave it stock, and no plastidip

Agreed. Some painted mirror covers will set your car off more than anything
